Does anyone know a good way how to do a timeout in a worker? How do I cancel the worker job without cancelling the worker itself?

children jobs: <https://kotlin.github.io/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-core/kotlinx.coroutines/-job/children.html>

I know how cancellation of a coroutine works. I am asking about how to cancel a worker.

Specifically how to cancel the job that a worker is doing without cancelling the whole worker.

by workers (in native) you mean Dispatchers?

well, I think you have to dispatch your task (your logic) inside a coroutine scope, inside your Worker, then you can cancel your job and the Worker will still running, no?
